SUA aprobă vânzarea a 48 de avioane de vânătoare F-35 către Arabia Saudită - Economica.net

The U.S. has approved the sale of 48 F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia for $24.3 billion, aimed at enhancing the country's defense capabilities amid ongoing conflicts with Houthi rebels in Yemen. This deal is expected to improve Saudi Arabia's national defense and interoperability with U.S. forces. Saudi Arabia has long sought to acquire F-35s, but Israel, the only regional operator of these jets, has expressed concerns. The proposed sale must be approved by the U.S. Congress and follows other significant arms purchases by Saudi Arabia this year, including a recent approval for over 10,000 bombs worth $5 billion.
